We are feckless drunks though,you’ve got to admit.
Go anywhere in the world and ask someone about Ireland – they’ll immediately do a little Flatley dance, drink an imaginary pint of Guinness and pull a gormless face.
Then belch and put on a cod diddly-eye accent and ask if you want to step outside for a fight.
Jeez lad, don’t despair.At least we’re not Welsh.

Most Europeans can, and a fair few yanks, though they’re confined to New England states I’ll grant you. I’ve lived in NY for the last 4 years and haven’t been mistaken from British once… though I now have a weird American twang so that could have something to do with it… Oh yes, argh drink prices at home went up.

I just got back from an unexpected wine run to superquinn where they had met their sales targets for the day by 6.30 pm,the poor fella running the wine section was rushed of his feet. Now, to start sampling and forget about the rest of the budget.

I loved the reaction form the Off License association, this will have people shopping in their drove north of the boarder and will ruin Irish Retail. Yep they will be driving form cork to save a Euro on a bottle of wine ALL RIGHT

Every Tesco accross the country was this way today, and little did they know Tesco has chosen to absorb the €1 until after christmas. THE AMOUNT OF DETAGGING I DID TODAY, how and ever Tesco are DELIGHTED will the sales and the zombies that roamed the off licences today.

me christmas jingly bells they absorbed the cost! they do what they always do and put the cost onto other items in the store. dont be playing that guff. Tesco either screw the suppliers or the shoppers but never dip their own pocket.

If all you can afford is a 5 euro bottle of wine, then the price just went up 20%. If you’re lucky enough to be able to afford a 50 euro bottle of wine, the price just went up by 2% and you can well afford the increase.
